During an archive rebuild against the release candidate for meson in
experimental, gupnp-tools failed to build from source with the following
log excerpt:

```
        cd obj-x86_64-linux-gnu && LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 meson setup ..
--wrap-mode=nodownload --buildtype=plain --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var --libdir=
lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
The Meson build system
Version: 1.2.0.rc2
Source dir: /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>
Build dir: /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu
Build type: native build

../meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Unexpected "[provides]" section, did you mean
"[provide]"?
```

Previous versions of meson silently ignored this invalid section, but
the release candidate complains about it.

This is an upstream bug as the file did not do what it was expected to
do, but it prevents building in Debian. The simplest solution is to
delete the .wrap files from the subprojects/ directory, since Debian
does not build this project with vendored dependencies.

It is also fixed upstream in git.
